Under Rule 3010(c), branch offices of member firms must be inspected annually if they are OSJ's or Supervisory Branches; and no less frequently than every 3 years for Non-Supervisory Branches. Non-branches (unregistered offices such as those in a personal residence) must also be subject to periodic inspection. Written inspection reports are required and certain items must be included in the inspection, such as customer fund transfers and address changes.
